    My Husband passes away suddenly on April 28th of this year. Losing him took a lot out of me. Especially since he was my first everything and my best friend for almost 47 years. But he raised the best watermelons ever!! But he used fish heads. He saved his fish heads. Would dig his hole a little deeper throw in the fish head with gardening lime. A little soil on the lime, then the seed. Then the other parts of the fish went in holes the same way under sweet potatoes vines and squash seeds. I never saw him use anything else to feed those three things. And he was known to have the best flavored vegetables. And all his melons was planted the same way. Our Sons and Sons in laws are helping me care for the gardens this year. If I continue to grow anything. I will continue to use the fish. He used to say " watermelons and figs is a Black man's best friend" 😉 Much success Cousins. Oh and I subscribed. Much Respect 🙇‍♀️

    Ok not competing. I’m doing something different. I started with collards. Planted twenty plus varieties and let them all mix together. Now I am replanting and growing under subsistence conditions. No fertilizer very little water and mostly neglect. The strongest plants that survive go to seed. I collect and replant that seed. By three years they are adapting to my area and my growing methods. Then I’d start selecting for what traits I want and replant seeds from those plants and cull and eat plants I don’t want. After a while I have developed my own landrace that performs better any store bought seed. I tenatovely started that process this year with watermelon. Only have about five varieties for now. Will let them cross pollinate and grow out next year those seed and add in new varieties to the patch as well. Slower progress as my focus is the collard landrace at the moment. I’m also growing India kajari melons which taste like half cantaloupe and half honeydew mixed together in a small personal melon with thin skin and no rind so it’s all taste but won’t take abuse in commercial agriculture and transportation to stores so you have to grow your own to enjoy the flavor or go without. Best of luck with your competition. If you are curious about landrace there is a book out online by a guy named Lofthouse.

    You may consider making your own soil blend until you get your miracle grow organics sponsorship🎉
    I googled their ingredients and think that you can put this together:
    Miracle-Gro Performance Organics Potting Soil Mix is formulated from sphagnum peat moss, processed forest products, perlite compost, fertilizer, and yucca.
